Yeah, yeah, you're gonna tell us how you got beat up.

Speaker 13 (16:52):
Well, now you'll be in a nun and I ain't
gonna lie to you. I've been mucking about with a
married woman.

Speaker 14 (16:58):
A married woman here.

Speaker 13 (17:00):
An echo in here. I met her over at the
Chelsea Street Market, commonly last name of bridge to too great,
big gobs of wavy red hair, a light dust enough
records right across the bridge of her nose. She's a
perfect Irish beauty.

Speaker 14 (17:18):
And married to eh.

Speaker 13 (17:19):
I I seen the waden ring on her finger. But
she was so fine and soft and sweet, smelling like
Peppy over there. I just couldn't help meself. So one
thing led to another, and she invited me back to
her flat.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
So is that where she beats you up?

Speaker 4 (17:40):
All right?

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Hate emigration.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Where's the rest of me? Crew?

Speaker 13 (17:47):
It wasn't her that did the beating you, talking spud.
It was her husband come home and caught us just
as we commenced to getting her freaka in walks. Mister
Patrick O'Toole himself.

Speaker 14 (18:02):
Patrick O'Toole, that bonny little fellow that runs the pharmacy.

Speaker 8 (18:06):
That's him.

Speaker 14 (18:07):
I can't believe he done all this. Patrick O'Toole's five
foot nothing in skinny as the morning paper. He must
have had something in his hand.

Speaker 13 (18:17):
Wait to maintain the illusion, I lead he did a
walking stick with a big honker of a brass ball
on the end of it, and he commenced to beat
me with it six ways from Sunday.

Speaker 14 (18:31):
Still, you're more than twice his size. Didn't you have
nothing in your own hand?

Speaker 13 (18:35):
I missus O'Toole's rear end and a thing of beauty
it is, too, but pretty much useless in a fight.

Speaker 15 (18:50):
I hope you've enjoyed John Boy and Billy playhouse and
your spiky head a.

It was, yeah, tropical storms, weren't they or a hurricane
of course.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
And I sprung for it and got the Presidential suite,
which was the furthest forward and the highest.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
I could see waves hitting the ship.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
I can kind of look and see the bridge and
the antenna, and we counted it. It looked like it
was about twenty eight stories by spread going over the end,
ten of twenty eight stories high in the ocean.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Yep, like that. Yeah, that was spray everywhere. People were
very sick. The crew over the door looked out. They
were laying in the halls.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, you know, I got a use, so
I said, man, if if we don't get a job
on a ship.

about one of the the same cruise company that had
a cruise ship basically went dead it was at sea
and had to be toad, but they lost all electricity,
all plumbing.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Well, actually I spend quite a bit of time in
the tropics. You folks come here often.

Speaker 8 (24:37):
This is our first time, and we came here to
get away from you.

Speaker 14 (24:41):
Mister Connery. Are you wearing dreadlocks?

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Well, actually they're attached to the ball CAPSI I'm bought
it at the airport.

Speaker 10 (24:48):
I'll try it on. Look here, Connery. My wife and
I have been under tremendous stress because of you. I
hope you're not here to ruin our vacation.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
I wouldn't dream of it.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Polly, Hey, you want to take a hit off my
giant spleef?

Speaker 11 (25:00):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (25:01):
No, how about you, Princess, you want to become one
of the Buffalo soldiers.

Speaker 8 (25:05):
Connery, we'd appreciate it if you'd put that out.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Put it out.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
You can't enjoy a trip to Jamaica without sampling some
of the world's finest Ganja. Come on, Polly, like the
song says, lively, up yourself.

Speaker 10 (25:20):
Mister Connery, we had quite enough of your foul smelling
bohemian lifestyle back in New York. In case you've forgotten,
this is what our lawsuit against you is all about.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
All that. Listen, Polly, I talked to the doorman from
our building on the phone last night. He said, the
cats have almost finished off the rats, and the gentleman
from pet Smart is delivering a pair of Doberman's tomorrow afternoon.
They'll make quick work of those cats. In two weeks,
this whole pet problem will be behind us once and
for all.

Speaker 10 (25:50):
A pair of Doberman's locked in your apartment for two weeks,
it sounds to me like our pet problem is just beginning.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Oh nonsense, everybody knows this dog crap is much easier
to get rid of than cat crap. You need to relax, Sultan.
You sure you don't want to take a hit. No,
I don't want to take a hit.

Speaker 10 (26:08):
What I want is you and your leaky plumbing and
your Tito Puente albums, and you're stinking into a zoo
out of our lives forever.

Speaker 17 (26:18):
Folly, you've cut me to the quick. Oh yeah, look,
I'm just trying to be a good neighbor. Well, you've
picked a very peculiar way of showing it. Lork Sultan,
It's no secret I'm not exactly neighbor of the year.
But as I say, it's all taken care of. Can't
we just enjoy this beautiful moonlit evening while all the

(26:39):
cares of the workaday world melt away. Hey, Cobaba boy,
three rum swizzles over here, Chuck chop, I don't think
he heard you, Hey, ZEGGI.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
What are you deaf? Hello?

Speaker 4 (26:52):
I'll get his attention. Pass me that tinky torch, will.

Speaker 8 (26:55):
You, mister Connery, please pull your pants back up?

Speaker 11 (26:59):
Leave it to me. Check this out.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
How's that for rostamon vibration?

Speaker 2 (27:08):
As we say in America, suck it, Trebek.

Speaker 9 (27:14):
Why that vulgar, uncool, thirty obnoxious loud mouth, certain please
call it.

Speaker 10 (27:26):
We hope you've enjoyed real life celebrity theaters. Tune in
again next time we we'll hear George mister Sulu Takai say, that's.

Speaker 8 (27:34):
Right, your honor.

Speaker 10 (27:35):
The fireball burned the tiki hut right down to the ground.
And look it actually singed off my eyebrows.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Oh my, well, let's play John Boy Jeopardy. Whole new
week's worth of stuff we're gonna learn. Maybe you already
know this. According to police reports, drivers of SUV's are
twice as likely to do this while behind the wheel

(28:03):
as drivers of other vehicles.

Speaker 10 (28:05):
Oh, what is consume a four horse bill?

Speaker 3 (28:09):
You know there's a lot of people eating on the roads, a.

Speaker 8 (28:11):
Lot of people using forks and knights.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
No, well, no meals, but don't do that. So what
you got? What y'all got?

Speaker 1 (28:18):
One eight hundred big show? You told free line. We
played John Boy Jebitary Next, Good morning, It's a big

(28:48):
show on the radio for your Monday, August eighteenth, or
feature track from the make show bit Box a Playhouse
and titled dub Goes Down memory lane key words memory
lane box had to make show dot comy right now,
let's play.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah slive across America. It's John Bode.

Speaker 6 (29:07):
And now your host. Let's see his wife drives an suv,
so can't do that. He's not really so fat anymore.
So Tubby's a free the driving anyway.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
He's John Boy bang out, Doug say hated Fred out
of Laurel Hill, North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Good morning, Fred, Good morning. How are you sure? Very good? Buddy?

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Welcome in here, all right, Fred, first shot at it
this morning. So, according to police reports, drivers of SUVs
are twice as likely to do this while behind the
wheel as drivers of other vehicles.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
What do you think, Fred, using their phone, you say,
using their phone texting talking? Let's just say, is it
a phone?

Speaker 7 (29:58):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (30:04):
All right, we've figured this out. SUVs.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Maybe mama's have got kids they goes do or there's
mamas and they gotta be talking.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Just women. You know, I drive an suv, Okay.

Speaker 7 (30:17):
I don't know how the car matters, but apparently so.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
All right, Well we'll look into that, Fred, You got
any ideas on anybody?

Speaker 3 (30:25):
It's the height, the harder they think.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
The painted windows in the height of the vehicles are
a lot taller.

Speaker 11 (30:30):
It's harder for people to see what they're doing.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
Good word, Fred, you nailed it again, buddy Man, when
you hang on Jack could get your prize bag to
your Laurel.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Hill first time.

Speaker 8 (30:44):
Color.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
There you go, that man, Fred that use Google because
he knew all about it.

Speaker 6 (30:53):
Look, you know when I look something up with Google
that gives you more than.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Just a word, It's like a lot of words. Wow,
exploit it. I've got a good autem there.

Speaker 18 (31:31):
This is the award winning John Boy and Billy Big Show,
the South's number one export.

Speaker 11 (31:45):
Nobody loves a hooter girl more than I do.

Speaker 18 (31:47):
But good, look at waitresses at trey Bone Barbecue in Augusta, Georgia.
Trust me, all right, all right, I hate I will
say the waitresses at trey Bones acted as if I
wasn't on the planet, and I sure do appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
You need, man, you need to take me in there
with you, because you know you're a chick magnetic.

Speaker 11 (32:05):
Because I'm telling you, I'm telling you here's one thing
I've learned.

Speaker 18 (32:08):
If you and I almost did it in Traybo, you
walk in a place the waitresses ain't paying any attention
to you, go into your John Boy impression and go
come over here and give me a It works every day.
You put three Jack Daniels and two Budwiders in me.

(32:29):
All of a sudden, that girl kind of a red
devil beard. I get crackles on my face. I lose
about forty pounds when I walk over and go come
over here and give me a.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
I don't know that stupid expression on my face.

Speaker 11 (32:42):
Dof yes, I believe that he's like a damn charge.

Speaker 19 (32:47):
Let me tell you another thing I've noticed is the
lean the John Boy leans Eddie and I kind of
stand off to the side and watch it. We kind
of count it down. You can kind of tell he's
already done the give me a hug. That's a little
hug gone, you know. And he'll turn his back to
him like I ain't even paying it's looking at you,
and then start he'll start leaning on to the point
that they stumble.

Speaker 18 (33:08):
You know, construct controlled spontaneity, that's what it is. But
I'm telling you, all you people out there, all you
guys out there who are lonesome. You know, you're sitting
around going how does he do it? When we don't
know how to do it. All you have to do
is do the John Boy thing. Some girl walks up,
you go, how are you today? Are y'all doing okay?

(33:29):
Come over here and give me the hug?

Speaker 11 (33:32):
Or what damn chilling?

Speaker 19 (33:35):
And now I'm not even paying you any attention?

Speaker 11 (33:37):
Right here might not be.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Over Sorry, I thought you were a post.

Speaker 18 (33:43):
What are all you girls doing over there with the
big cleavage and the food sticking out?

Speaker 11 (33:48):
Come over here and get me.

Speaker 10 (33:53):
That's that same expression you use when you do Struther
Martin from Cool Hand, luke you to get your right.

Speaker 11 (34:03):
Come over here, come over here, give me a hug.
But the Straulie Martin, give me a hug. Don't worry.
It's the John boy, give me a hug.

Speaker 18 (34:16):
It's that I'm too stupid to be with y'all looking
at exactly, And it's the fake what's the word I'm
looking for?

Speaker 11 (34:23):
It's sort of the fake safe thing.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
You know.

Speaker 11 (34:26):
Oh, I know you're married and got kids, but you
can come over here and hug me, you know, I
come here.

Speaker 15 (34:33):
It's a whole ropodope thing, exactly, John Boy and Dilly
So Tim last time you played here, you said you
had something interesting.

Speaker 11 (34:41):
Happened. Oh, I had my first John Boy ejection.

Speaker 8 (34:46):
Good morning radio, dumb right.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Your morning bike shows on the radio for your Monday morning.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Let's get on the week ride.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Here we go.

Speaker 8 (35:23):
It is time for Oliver.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Well, well, well, the long hot days of summer are
upon us.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
The days grow longer and the mercury rises to insufferable heights.
And along with the oppressive heat, the humidity is usually
one hundred percent. You can barely stand to be outside.
You think to yourself, how could it get any worse
than you see them?

Speaker 3 (35:54):
And it's worse.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
The fat people have come to the pool. Yes, the
fat people have arrived.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
With each hoofstep, the pool ripples with impact tremors like
I heard of pale dimply dinosaurs. They thunder towards the
water's edge. It's like job of the Hut took his
family on a summer vacation. But they're not alone. They've
got their squealing, chubby children in tow faces already smeared

(36:31):
with a hearty breakfast of melted Hershey's kisses and Cheetos.
As the fat people take two or three normal spaces each,
suddenly all that coveted towel space pool side begins to
disappear faster than the good bacon on the breakfast bar.
This doesn't include the additional acreage they claim with their

(36:52):
loaded coolers chuck full of hogis and you who's and
bite sized snickers, And well that's not altogether true. The
snickers are full size to them, they only seem bite size.
But just taking up space isn't enough for these gelatinous giants.

(37:12):
They have the audacity to break the sanctity of God's
glorious sunny day by doing the unthinkable. That's right, they
strip down to their bathing suits. Believe me when I
say the dairy section of the Sam's Club has never
seen this much cottage cheese in one single place at

(37:32):
any time. Like the skin of an undercooked turkey. It
oozes from every opening of spandex material already stretched beyond
accepted NASA limitations. Why if only Colonel Sanders could fry
thighs this big, he could end the world's hunger problem.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
And what I knew?

Speaker 2 (37:52):
The KFC joker get the Black Girl? And what of
the poor old Sun?

Speaker 11 (38:03):
Could it be?

Speaker 4 (38:03):
There is no global warming, but just the Sun having
to work over time to tan the planet's ever growing
mountain of fish belly white epidermis. As you watch them
layering on gallon after gallon of man tan with paint rollers,
you secretly kick yourself for not buying that sunscreen stock. Then,

(38:24):
like some sort of nightmarish SeaWorld spectacle, the fat people
get in the pool. You're suddenly aware that you're not
the only one staring. It's like a walrus battle royal.
All that splashing and sloshing and leaping out of the water.
Oh what you wouldn't give for a little kiosk nearby

(38:45):
that sold feeder fish three for a dollar.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
But it's not all fun in games.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
You don't have to be a math wizard to realize
when the fat people get into the pool, the water
comes out, and as the bulbous bathers cavort, they are
blissfully unaware of the regular humans only feet from them
being swept away on a huge cellulite tsunami, struggling not
to get tangled in the pool. Furniture and parked cars
also caught in the time. And what about when they

(39:15):
get out of the pool. The absence of their presence
will render the massive concrete receptacle nearly vacant. Save for
the big greasy ring made up of tanning lotion, mayonnaise
and sloughed skin. Don't worry, the rest of the guests
won't have long to wait. The pool will be full

(39:37):
soon enough, ironically, thanks to the fat people and the
miracle of perspiration. As the sun sets in that a
pleasant teach you not to drink water when you're in
the pool. As the sun sets and the fat people
wobble towards the exit, dragging empty coolers and full children,

(39:59):
the bar of the slow and unsuspecting unfortunate enough to
be walking in front of them suddenly stuck to the
underside of their feet like discarded bubblegum. The horror is
nearly over for them. That is, I won't be so lucky.
I still have to take my wife's family out to dinner.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
That explains it.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Good morning, you got a big show on a radio.
More chances you to win coming up after your news
weathers barts. I stand on the hill, but not for
a thrill, for the breath of a fresh keel. And
never mind the man who contemplates doing away with license plates.
He stands alone anyhow.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Bacon the cookies of discontent by the heat of the
laundromat fat leaving his soul and then like in Portrago
dot dot dot, you know, kind of host set up
leaving the soul heart in the waters of the Medulla
Oblonga with John Boy and Billy on the big show

(41:17):
like that with John Boy.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Good morning. It's a big show on the radio for
you money. Good morning.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Coming up in a few minutes, Robert Earl Keene gonna
check in with us. He's got his benefit coming up
with the Texas Hill Company after the devastating floods.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
It'll catch up, Robert.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
It will be the first time I talked to him,
and talking to him, he was they were gonna do
that July and fourth bash right there on the river
right where it was.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
The flood is so bad.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
So the first chance we had to talk to him
and put together and see what he's got going on. Man,
it's a big, big concert. We'll tell you all about, Okay,
So hang over for that.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Remind me, like you're to get into this.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
This headlines, this news article, it is a real thing.
I'm told this is not a fake deal. Headline. Man
fakes being deaf and dumb for sixty two years to
avoid listening to his wife.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
In the audience raise for him.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
If you can relate sixty to he really didn't won't
do he committed?

Speaker 6 (43:04):
Oh that is, he actually could hear the thing. She
said that she didn't think he could hear. So can
you imagine?

Speaker 3 (43:14):
Oh right, well it might be kind of fun. We'll
check out that. We'll get that later. Robert Keenan minutes,
big show rolls on
